From News One:

Sharron Smalls, the principal of Jane Addams High School in The Bronx, landed in hot water on Friday over the possibility that she improperly gave class credits to students. Now HALF of the entire senior class is in danger of not graduating because they do not have enough credits to do so.

The scheme was called “double dipping” by a teacher at the school. Stephen Tavano was quoted in the New York Times:

“Clearly, there’s an agenda of credit accumulation, and it certainly plays into this. There’s tremendous pressure to get students to graduate, but what has to be understood is that they’ve got to graduate the right way, according to the standards of New York State. And the principal made it a point to break the rules.”

But now, credit fudging isn’t the only kind of hot cocoa mess that Sharron Smalls is finding herself in. Shortly after the story broke, pictures from Smalls’ Facebook page surfaced, including a photo of Smalls cavorting in chocolate sauce with a man who appears to be a male stripper.
